strange thing, i've applied this path and everything work well. perhaps you've either missed something or applied a path incorrectly.
besides, this path would make sense after php 5.3 is released and it should be rearranged to gain back and forth compatibility

This patch still need to be applied on ZF 1.8.1 when used with PHP 5.3RC2.
